Discharge Chute Deflector
ALWAYS position discharge chute deflector at a safe
angle before starting engine.
DO NOT throw snow any higher than necessary.
Push deflector handle forward or down to throw snow

Always stand opposite the direction of snow discharge
when rotating the discharge chute.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT force frozen chute controls. If
still frozen, take to warm place until controls are free.
Scraper Blade
The scraper blade allows the back of the housing to
keep better contact with the surface being cleared. It
also prevents damage to the housing from normal
wear.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow Scraper Blade to wear
too far or Auger/Impeller housing will become
damaged.
Runners
The runners control the distance between the scraper
blade and the ground. Adjust runners equally to keep
blade level with the ground. Refer to Pre-Start on
page 11 for recommended settings.
